Many new features improve the navigation experience within Windows 7. One such feature is the new “shake” functionality. Shake allows you to focus on one open window even if multiple are open on the screen. Here’s how:
1 - Hover the mouse pointer over the title bar of the window you’re working in.
2 - Click and hold the left mouse button when the pointer is over the title bar.
3 - Lightly shake the mouse and all other open windows are minimized, leaving only the desired
window remaining.
4 - Repeat the same process with the same window and all previously minimized windows will
reappear in their previous positions.
